Little worry :(

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea last year. I can't sleep with the mask though, so I'm still tired. Gonna see some docs this summer and hopefully we can figure it out.

Martin, hope she's alright. If no doctor has suggested apnea yet, have her get a sleep study.

Mistaht, do you have full face, nose or hybrid mask? Mine is a full face, hybrid I couldn't do it and nose I'm a mouth breather and the doctor said that wouldn't be good.

It's a pain in the neck to get used to it, but give yourself sometime. No lie and exaggeration, the cpap machine CHANGED my life.

I had the triangle nose cover one for a few months. I usually fall sleep on my side, so falling asleep on my back is still hard.... I'd usually wake up about 30 minutes after falling asleep with the mask on the floor. Now I have the "nasal pillows." Sometimes I feel claustrophobic and just gotta rip it off, even before I fall asleep. I'm gonna try the full face this summer.

Well... my wife has been falling asleep about everywhere lately. She sleep her 8 hrs and is still tired. She can barely spend 12 hrs up without taking a nap. So she talked to her teacher (radiology school) about it and he referred her to a doctor. They did few basic test on her and a MRI. Then they devide yo keep her overnight for more tests.

Hope she's fine!

Hopefully this isnt it, but yeah, if sleepy during the day especially after about 1-2 hrs after eating that could be it as that is when your sugars peak. Not fun, I have that sometimes and it makes my day feel lousy. But the drs will probably be checking through everything like full blood work ups and all.
 
Hopefully they find it and it's nothing serious, or if it is, it's caught.

Could be anything from stress to diet, to low iron, sleep apnea... but, better to find out and get it under control early.

Best of luck and don't you stress out too.

I almost asked the same thing in my morning reply, but unless she is urinating more frequently and having symptoms of extreme thirst and nausea, it may not be the case. Regardless check her ketones. Now that she is in hospice care, I am sure they will get her taken care of.
 
Hope it is nothing serious bud! Don't worry yourself too much yet. Will keep you guys in our prayers!

I couldn't take the nasal pillows/hybrid too. the good thing with the full face is that you can sleep in your side.
 
Dont worry! PM me if you'd like to chat. My wife has been going through the same symptoms for a few years, looking at numerous things. Still no confirmed diagnosis yet, but closer.
 
She just call me. They are transferring her to a different room under ICU. They found some bleeding in her brain. I'm f*&ckin worry has hell right now. F&*( she just turn 29YO...
 
DANG Marthy!!! Sorry to hear about this development!!!

You and her will both definately be in my thoughts and prayers!

Hope they can resolve this quickly!
*dont see a :pray: emoticon
 
Just saw this thread, Marthy. I really hope everything turns out ok. Hang in there and think positive. I'll send positive thoughts your way.
 
Thanks everyone. I know some of you are Facebook friend. Please don't post anything over there yet. Her family is in South Africa and I don't want to worry them too much right now until we figure out WTF is going on.

They're putting her on med now so she should be sleeping for a good part of the day. I'll see her later today.

Thanks everyone for your support. Always new this forum was a second home with good friends.
 
All my best of thoughts to your wife and you Martin. I hope everything goes better.

Wow, the only thing I can say is taht maybe it's best that they found it this way. I hope everything keeps out and If you don't mind I'll talk to a friend of mine who is a pastor of a large church and they can keep her in their prayers.
 

Thoughts and prayers, Marthy... You'll both see whatever this is through...
